Nothing feels better on a chilly winter’s eve than warming up with a hot bowl of soup. As much as I love chicken noodle soup, more often than not I’m not a fan of leftovers because the noodles become soggy and reminiscent of the canned version. To alleviate this internal dilemma, I opt to add wild rice. Not only... Full story »

I’ve been trying to incorporate fish into our diets at least twice a week, although I know I should do it more often given the vast amount of health benefits that physicians spout off on a daily basis. Omega-3’s, omega-6’s quality protein, rich in calcium and phosphorus: The list goes on. In the summer, I find my goal is... Full story »

You many not be feeling it, but I sure know that I indulged a bit too much from Thanksgiving through January 1st. After all the heavy food we were weighed down with during the holidays, there’s nothing like starting the New Year off with a healthy salad. Generally, I try to find whatever vegetables looks semi-fresh in the grocery... Full story »

Over the holidays I was experimenting with gluten-free dessert recipes because I recently found out that I have a mild intolerance to wheat. Having a huge sweet-tooth, this made me depressed for a good week before I got into the kitchen and decided to make the best of it. Little did I know that I actually had an amazing... Full story »

The wind is whipping around the buildings and setting the chill deep into our bones. We all could use a good hot drink to warm our bodies up and ease our muscles after they’ve been clenching our coats to our bodies to keep out the cold. You can count on the fact that after trekking around in this weather,... Full story »

My husband and I have a tradition when the holidays roll around. Every year, we make this recipe. Even if we’re not in the holiday spirits, it immediately transforms our moods. The tradition started when I was in a dollar store and saw these absolutely hideous holiday mugs that I felt the need to purchase, “Hey, they’re only a... Full story »

There’s an abundance of different types of squash available this time of year from butternut to spaghetti, acorn, banana, kabocha, sweet dumpling and more. Each has their own unique texture and flavor that when roasted become more noticeable. I love to purchase at least one squash each week and serve it as a side to dinner one night, or... Full story »

Growing up in Vermont on a small farm, this recipe was a staple in our household. It’s easy to make, freezes well, and can be doubled or tripled without much effort. There were rarely leftovers, and if some did manage to make it to the fridge after dinner it was gone by lunch the next day. My brothers and... Full story »

My husband and I went apple picking earlier this fall after the madness of wedding planning had worn off. It is a relaxing adventure that we like to partake in every year when the whether starts to cool down. Unlike other years past where we solely purchase apples, we opted to also buy a half-gallon of cider from the... Full story »

Perfect for a rainy fall day with a hot mug of mulled cider, these pancakes will cure any fix for pumpkin cravings you might be having. The pumpkin and spices aren’t too overwhelming for a nice start to the day. Pumpkin can be quite dense, but the addition of buttermilk helps keep these pancakes light and fluffy. It’s best...

During the fall I can’t get enough of any food or drink that involves pumpkin: Pancakes, beer, lattes, bread, cookies, pie, seeds, coffee, and more. Each year I attempt to make one new recipe involving the versatile autumn squash. This year I fashioned this mousse recipe to serve at a Thanksgiving dinner party with our close friends. I know...
